The Telugu film industry joined Nagarjuna in mourning for his father and popular actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao.

Legendary Telugu actor-producer Akkineni Nageswara Rao, also known as ANR, succumbed to intestinal cancer in the early hours of Wednesday, January 22. He was 90.

The body was shifted from Care Hospitals, Banjara Hills, where the end came, to ANR's Annapurna Studio, so that film personalities and fans could pay their last respects.

ANR's son Nagarjuna broke down several times, and on one instance, was comforted by actor Jr  NTR.
